7th Pay Commission Update : Central Government is preparing to give a big gift to central employees and pensioners soon. The government could hike the Dearness Allowance (DA) any day now, which 10 million families are eagerly waiting for.

Besides, if the salary of central employees is Rs 40,000, the monthly increase will be Rs 1,600 at 4 per cent DA. 19,200 per year, which will be like a gift. The increased rates of DA will be effective from 1 July
